Perfect for girls with a "large" price range this camel coat is certainly an investment! This is certainly a timeless classic which is for life rather than just this season. Overall, an absolute gem at a gem of a price.

Definitely a more affordable option for most people, this coat is perfect for the winter. It has a little nod to the 1950s housewife style which has been cropping up on the catwalks of Louis Vuitton among others. The checks also add a little more winter wonder to this lovely piece.

1. Do you belong to any 'beauty box' subscription services? If so, which ones?

No but a subscription is definitely on the Christmas list from somewhere like BirchBox!2. Who is your fashion icon?

Ooh that's a hard one.. I have been a big fan of Alexa Chung for a long time and I love Cara Delevingne too! I love to pick out things I love out of many people's outfits really! 3. Who would you say is beautiful that others maybe wouldn't agree with?

Some of my friends think Alexa Chung isn't actually nice looking which I find really hard to understand!!4. If you had $1,000 to spend on clothes or cosmetics, which would you choose?

Clothes, because they last forever and good clothes will last far longer than most cosmetics!!5. Favorite place to shop for cosmetics?

MAC. The make up is of such a high quality and the price isn't extortionate!6. Biggest fashion and/or beauty pet peeve?

Onesies- they are unflattering, unpleasant looking and strangely overused by the masses! 7. Share your favorite makeup tip with us.

Less is more, I believe subtle classy makeup looks better than heaps of cheap foundation clagging up your eyebrows and therefore your life!8. What is your current favorite perfume/fragrance?

Le Soft Solid Perfume in Lucky Bay is a new lovely discovery of mine which I can't get enough of!9. What is something you will splurge on without guilt?

Skin care in any form, you have your skin for life, so it's worth the money!!10. Where is your favorite place to shop for clothing?

Hi I'm Smidge, Sazzly's sister I don't often do blog posts but I have decided to do one post. I have taken many of Sarah's blog photos and I am now her official blog photographer. Sazzly is the best fashion sister ever she was shopping with me and we passed a charity shop ad she spotted through her fashion eyes a RALPH LAUREN shirt in the window so we entered and found it and saw it was in my size so we bought it for £13 WOW!!A bit about me:I love Olly Murs and my favourite shop is Hollister. I really love animals and sport. I love the colour purple and my favourite book is The Hunger Games.

Monday, 22 July 2013

Hello! This is not Sazzly Glimmer today this is Eleanor (aka Ellie or Elz or whatever you want really). Sazzly (aka Sarah to me) started Framecake a few months before I started 'ClosetDiamonds' (my little fashion blog) and we have kept a continuous interest in each others blogs. It was Sarah who came up with the bright idea (she usually has the ideas) to do a guest post, in an interview style, on each others blogs. So here it is!

Well, as I said, Sarah started blogging a few months before me and I loved Framecake. I thought it was really cool that people all over the world listened to her fashion advice/inspiration/critique etc. I also have loved fashion ever since I was tiny and I can't think of anything better to do than shop (except blogging of course)! Blogging helped me channel my love for fashion into something other people could read. Researching designers also helped me to pick up ideas as I am thinking that maybe one day I would like to have a career in Fashion. I typed blogspot into google and I suppose it all just carried on from there.

Who are your biggest style idols?

Ohhh this could go on for pages. I love Cara Delevingne, she is so cool but without trying too hard; not forgetting that she wears the coolest beanies this planet has ever seen. I really love her new campaign for DKNY, you should check it out. I also love Miranda Kerr, Taylor Swift, Mollie King and Lily Collins.

What is your favourite high street shop?

Probably Topshop because it's affordable and does some really nice clothes. I got some new shoes from there just the other day...

I also like Miss Selfridge when I am feeling really girly.

Who is your favourite designer?

Sophia Webster designs amazing accessories that are really quirky, she is definitely one of my favourites. I also love Marc Jacobs, his Spring collection for Louis Vuitton in 2012 is beautiful and his 2013 collection did not disappoint. He is a genius when it comes to designing clothes. And of course Coco Chanel is one of my favourites too, no explanation needed!

How would you describe your style?

This is a difficult one for me as I have so many different styles. I haven't got one particular style but I dress according to how I feel, if you know what I mean. However I especially like flower garlands and boho/festival pieces. I am also loving graphic tees at the moment; check out these ones...

£30.00 at Urban Outfitters

£22.00 at River Island

£15.00 at River Island

What is your favourite make up brand?

I like Benefit, Bobbi Brown and L'Oreal when it comes to makeup but I'm not too fussy (as long as it does the job then I don't really care). However my must have beauty product has to be L'Oreal's long lasting liquid eyeliner. It is, as it claims, long lasting and very easy to use (even for novices like me). It is also quite difficult to smudge unlike other liquid liners that I have tried.

What products do you use skincare-wise?

I try to stick to quite a strict skincare regime. In the morning I wash my face with Clearasil rapid action gel wash and then use Garnier Pure active Blackhead Clearing Scrub. At night I use the Clearasil product again and then apply Duac once daily cream (prescription only).

What is your perfume of the moment?

I am a bit of a perfume hoarder if I am honest. I love to keep them all on my dressing table and if the perfume has a nice bottle then I am more likely to buy it. My favourite is Purr by Katy Perry (very nice bottle) and I also like Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift and Fuel for life by Diesel.

<<Purr by Katy Perry (told you it was a cool bottle)

Well that's all from me but if you liked this post then please take a look at ClosetDiamondsThanks guys xx(P.S Sazzly Glimmer: If you fancy doing a guest post leave your email below!!)

Jessie was great last night! Her whole set was full of energy and emotion- you could tell she really cared about giving her fans a great show!! Loved it!For the concert I went for this monochrome versus blue look! The shoes are extremely comfy too because they have a wedge! Just bought my clutch in the summer sales! Have been after an envelope clutch for ages!!If you are wondering what I am doing, I am half-watching The Omen for the second time today! (I watched it for the first time today and my sister wanted to see it so I'm kinda watching kinda posting!)It's great!! Have any of you seen it? Going for a walk now!!!

You forget how lovely the summer is until it's summer again! You may have noticed that today's photos aren't photos.. It appears there is only one photo which is moving!! A gif!! I made it using an app called 5 Seconds which I bought on the apple app store!! It's really really fun to play with and you can put on some great effects!! Look closer and you'll see that I'm wearing CHRISTMAS SOCKS in JULY!! Just because I felt like that and I'm weird basically!!Other things I've been doing outside in this heat spell?

I am so happy that it is finally sunny enough for me to wear my new shades!! They are so summery and I took ages to choose them!! This was also the first time I wore this Zara top which has sheer panelling down the sides which I don't think you can really see!!You may also have noticed that my hair is now REALLY SHORT!!! I love it though.. It looks so much smarter than my old hair!! Can't wait to play around with my new look!!Since my last OOTD I have also got braces so that is why I am smiling like I am being held at gunpoint, which I'm not!!One final thing..
